Building an Album | Through Ash and Ember by into the ether
More and more I think AI can be a tool for creativity, and a supplement for what you need for your projects. The imagination is all my own. I take that, and if I need a specific photo of a ‘mountain’ for example, I type into an image generator, and I get what I need. That has progressed to music making tools that have AI that help with different instrumentation and vocals! And I’m here for it. If I have lyrics, a rough demo of a song I’m writing on guitar with riffs for verse, chorus, bridge, and then an idea for a style of music that combines genre’s that I haven’t heard done, I can combine my traditional songwriting, use these tools in an AI-assisted way to help me with vocals because I do prefer male vocals on my style of music (being female) that (if no one else) appeals to my broad and discriminating ear!
So as I’m making music that I really like, I’m creating lyric music videos for them for my YouTube channel. My goal is to create ‘albums’ of music on cohesive topics. The music styles and voices will be different song per song, but the common thread is the theme. My first generated album i’m calling ‘Through Ash and Ember’. Here is a musical description of the album so far:
From the depths of sorrow to the flames of renewal, Into the Ether presents Through Ash and Ember, an album that weaves together gothic metal, haunting melodies, and raw emotion. This collection of songs explores love, longing, and the strength to rise from the ruins, blending atmospheric soundscapes with heavy riffs and cinematic depth.
With each track, we dive into a different chapter of this story—whether it’s the unbreakable spirit of “Rise Again,” the dark romance of “Embrace the Night,” or the burning hope within “Light in the Ashes.” Below, you’ll find the lyric videos for these songs, bringing the music to life through visual storytelling and immersive sound.
My goal is 14 songs and so far i’ve ‘found’ 5 so I’m less then half way there. As I go I’m creating music videos with the lyrics for each.
So here are the first 3 videos so far I’ve made that I wanted to share. Enjoy!
